Shakira shares photos of baby Milan before and after "tickles"

Shakira has taken to Twitter to post an adorable set of photos of her six-month old son Milan, giggling and beaming away at the camera.

The Colombian beauty, who is enjoying being a first-time parent with footballer boyfriend Gerard Piqué, posted two cute snaps on Saturday of their baby son.

The first photo shows Gerard holding Milan up to the camera, who looks slightly bemused, and is captioned, “A few days ago…before tickles…Shak.”

PHOTO FOR ADORABLE BABY PICTURES

The difference is clearly seen in the “after” shot where Milan is lying on the grass, laughing away and clearly full of glee as his father tickles him on the stomach.

The set of photographs prompted delight from Shakira’s fans who commented on how cute Milan was and the beautiful resemblance between the mother and son.

Milan is no stranger to the camera it seems, as his proud parents are quick to share photographs of their son on various social media sites.

Earlier this month, the FC Barcelona footballer posted a photo of baby Milan getting ready for his holiday aboard an airplane, lying back contentedly on a seat, his head leaning on one of the armrests and his feet not reaching the other.

The caption shared on the doting father’s Twitter page said, “Ready to flight!” while Shakira shared another photograph of her two favourite men with the caption, “¡Vacaciones con papi!” meaning “Holidays with daddy!”

The couple were clearly enjoying their family holiday together before they return home to Barcelona, where Gerard will rejoin his team to begin training for next season.

Shakira met her loving boyfriend in 2010 when he appeared in the music video for Waka Waka (This Time for Africa), the official World Cup song. She officially confirmed their romance the following year on Twitter, posting a picture of the two of them with the caption, “I present to you my sunshine.”

In September 2012, Shakira and Gerard confirmed they were expecting their first child together, and welcomed Milan Piqué Mebarak on 22nd January 2013.
